 Borneo; Sarawak (coll. Dist.). 



I am indebted to Lieut. Goodrich for the acquisition of this and the following species from 

 the Malay Peninsula. In the North-West Himalaya the Rev. Jv H. Hocking found the larva 

 of this sprigs li on m-Ub\ August, l'?2()0 jWl'V and in Stkkim Mr. de Nict' villi.- desevikis 

 it as M a very rapid flyer for so small au insect, but it frequently settles/' t

The following is Mr. Wallace's original description : — 



" Male, Form of wings nearly as in L. hippocla, the outline a little more even, 



"Above: the markings are nearly as in L. hippocla, but tlie rufous band and markings are all 

 enlarged, and have a very irregular outline, especially on the anterior wings. 



M Beneath : quite distinct from L. kipjmckt / the ground colour whitish ochre, veined in a complicated 

 net- work with deep rusty brown ; near the middle of the outer margin on the upper^wings is an elongate 

 blackish spot with a blue centre, enclosed on tfcs inner side with a horse -shoe and a lnnule of the ground 

 colour ; on the outer margin of the hind-wings is a row of brown spots enclosed by a double row of lunules 

 on each side, the two central spots are violet-ash powdered with black, while the lateral ones consist of a 

 brown ring with a whitish centre." 



Exp. wings, "1*9 inch."

The above description, supplemented by Mr. Wallace's further remark, u This insect is 

 somewhat intermediate between L. Sippoda and L. Hypzelis" { so thoroughly applies to the 

 species captured by Lieut. Goodrich, and here figured, that I have little doubt as to the 

 identification proving correct. I have been unable to compare it with the " type/' as though
